Xavier held his arms out wide, dramatically announcing his arrival as he walked in silky peach PJs and a long overcoat on top. He looked at their shaking hands now pulling away. "Oh? Are we celebrating something?"
"What are you doing here?" Zach stuffed his hands into his pockets.
"Lorraine's at work, Oliver's at school. I was bored", he grumbled before sniffing around. "Something smells good in here."
"Come back to work", Zach ordered, ignoring his last observation. "Starting tomorrow."
"I'm injured", he complained, pointing at his abdomen. Yet he had the energy to pop by when he could be nursing his injury, Zach shot him a deadly glare. Pretending as if he didn't see, Xavier went to George's side to smack him on the shoulder. "George my man, I haven't seen you in a minute."
"Ah. Good you're both here, Amy and I are getting married in three months. Get ready."
"Ooh", he quickly left George's side who looked pleasantly surprised by the news and went to his older brother. "Who's your best man? Can I be your best man? Let me be your best man!"
"You will as long as you come back to work tomorrow", Zach replied nonchalantly making George snort at Xavier's defeated expression.
"How are things with Nora?" Xavier quickly changed the subject, giving George a sly grin but the latter only panicked and wished he could him up with a punch.
Zach didn't know about the progress in his love life. Would he figure out that she was the main reason he wanted to be in West Village more? He got his answer when he saw Zach's smirk.
"Take your gossiping out of here. I have work to do", he said, walking back to his seat. "And Xavier, visit your mother."
"Sure, see you around", he said sing-songy way.
"Tomorrow", Zach corrected in a dismissive tone.
Xavier knew that his freedom was now over, there was no arguing with his brother. Feeling satisfied from his lunch and phone conversation with Amy, Zach had energy to work a little faster so he could go back home and be with his family. Amy must be bored out of her mind, he needed to keep her company.
Time seemed to move slow with him constantly checking. As soon as it hit 16:45, he left his office, done for the day and finished with all his tasks. He dismissed his secretary as he walked to his private lift.
Moments later, he finally arrived at home. Edmund took his briefcase from him. Zach was getting used to the quietness of the home with everyone back at their places. He took the stairs to his room only to find it vacant. No sign of Amy or the baby. But the wrinkle of the sheets told him she had been there. He decided to freshen up before going out to look for them.
"Edmund!" He called out, exiting his room after changing.
"Sir!" He answered and quickly went up to meet his master.
"Where are they?"
"In the sunroom, sir."
He nodded and went on his way. He run his fingers through his hair leaving it an attractive mess as he walked on. After that phone call he just couldn't wait to see Amy. But as he got closer, he steps slowed when he heard an unfamiliar sound. A groan of pleasure of a woman. And that did not belong to Amy. His brows furrowed, feeling disturbed by the discovery.
"Ooh! Where have you been all my life?"
That voice. Wasn't it....? Amy giggled, it almost came out stiffled.
"Seriously, you have some magic fingers", she let out a loud sigh of content. "Not even Henry can give me this amount of pleasure."
"Oh my gosh! Mom!" Amy let out a stiffled laugh followed by Victoria's own. "Okay stop! I need to focus!"
"Fine, fine! But gosh, we'll literally be the talk of town on your wedding day! If Stella was here, we would let her join in!" Victoria continued and Amy hummed in agreement.
Zach's brows furrowed at this point and his expression had darkened. He took large strides to see for himself what in the actual hell was going- only for him to stop. Both women had heard him walk in and they both whipped their heads towards the door. Amy's eyes lit up and she quickly run to him and stood on her tip toes to smack a welcome back kiss on his lips.
"What's going on?" He subconsciously wrapped his arms around her waist but looked at her face. "What's this?"
"Face mask", she replied stiffly, leaning away so he doesn't touch her face.
"Amy had this suggestion that we do a glow up challenge for the wedding", she picked up a mirror and observed her glowing face. "This charcoal mask really does wonders. What do you think Zach? Doesn't my skin look great?"
Zach looked at his mother's glowing face and without the two knowing, he had relaxed. Did that little gossip he overheard actually mess with him just now? He shook his head.
"Babe?" Amy nudged him gently.
"Looks good", he replied.
"Right?" Victoria agreed with a huge smile on her face. "And can I stay for dinner! I've missed you lot."
"No."
Amy couldn't glare at him because of the facemask while Victoria did for the both of them. This son of hers.
"Xavier will visit you."
"Really?" Her face lit up as she quickly gathered her belongings. "I better get going then! What should I make for my baby! Why didn't you tell me this sooner? Amy, thank you for this! We'll talk!"
She gave her an air kiss before disappearing out the door. Amy mouthed a 'wow' before looking at Zach's whose lips curved up. "She has no favorites", Amy said in amusement.
"Clearly", he replied.
"Can you watch Roserie while I take this off?" She pointed at her mask.
He hummed in response and kissed her lips whilst gropping her soft ass. She moaned into the kiss wishing she coulld respond more eagerly. He released her and gave it a hard smack earning a yelp from her.
She could see the raw desire in his eyes. He may have been the one doing the teasing earlier but that conversation had affected them both. That two weeks now painfully felt like twenty years to come. He had plans for her, and so did she...
